Chapter 1789: Catherine’s Disappearance

The matter of the Great Sound Buddha Sect has always haunted Long Qie.

After all, if it weren’t for Xiao Zheng’s timely appearance, he would have already died in the conspiracy of the Great Sound Buddha Sect and Beidao Guang. If even the orthodox Buddha Sect can partake in schemes and plots, why can’t the remaining forces of the Eight Great Sacred Grounds ally with the Demon Alliance?

With his fists clenched tightly, Long Qie already believed in Xiao Zheng’s hypothesis: "In any case, we cannot allow the Eight Great Sacred Grounds and the Demon Alliance to make contact. Otherwise, once they form an alliance, our days will become even more difficult!"

"Exactly, it’s precisely to prevent such a thing from happening that we must not act recklessly now." Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "The Eight Great Sacred Grounds have always seen us as a thorn in their side. Our existence is like a nightmare to them."

"If we make any moves that they find unusual, they’ll become extremely nervous."

Hearing this, Long Qie nodded and said, "That’s right, especially after the Great Sound Buddha Sect was destroyed. Our relationship with the Eight Great Sacred Grounds has deteriorated further. It seems I was a bit too reckless and nearly caused a huge blunder."

"It’s not your fault; after all, no one is perfect, and one person can’t consider everything from all angles," Xiao Zheng said. "In any case, have the brothers keep a close eye on the Demon Alliance. Any developments, no matter how minor, must be reported to you."

"I understand, and I’ll definitely handle this matter properly," Long Qie said.

Seeing there was nothing else, Xiao Zheng prepared to leave.

However, just as he reached the door, Long Qie seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Oh, Mr. Xiao, I almost forgot to tell you something."

"What is it?" Xiao Zheng turned back to ask.

Long Qie first furrowed his brows and, after a moment of hesitation, said, "It’s about Catherine. I sent her to Europe some time ago to handle Western supernatural affairs. I instructed her to report to me daily."

"But since yesterday, she hasn’t contacted me. I’m worried that something might have happened to her."

After hearing his story, even Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown.

If Catherine truly went missing, then something is indeed odd about this situation.

Even Xiao Zheng couldn’t figure out why Catherine disappeared. After all, he recently teamed up with Hades to eliminate Rob III, helping Hades unify Western supernatural forces.

Now, both the Werewolf faction and the Blood Clan are under Hades’ control.

Logically, no one in the West poses a threat to Catherine, so why would she suddenly disappear?

Xiao Zheng racked his brains but couldn’t think of a reason.

After what seemed like a long time, Xiao Zheng reluctantly said, "You keep an eye on this matter as well. I’ll also try to contact her by phone. Perhaps she just got held up by something personal, who knows."

"I hope that’s the case," Long Qie sighed.

"Then I’ll take my leave. Please handle the matters with the Demon Alliance and Catherine," Xiao Zheng said. "If there’s something you can’t handle, remember to give me a call."

Long Qie nodded and then watched him leave.

After leaving the Sky Net headquarters, Xiao Zheng prepared to drive to the company. After all, it was almost time to get off work. Even though he’s on vacation, he still has to pick up and drop off Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran from work.

Since Qianqiu Group is closer to his current location, he first headed to Qianqiu Group.

Now everyone in the company knows Xiao Zheng, so when they see him, they respectfully greet him. Xiao Zheng also appears very approachable, responding to each person with a smile.

When he reached the top floor, Leng Ruobing’s secretary told him that Leng Ruobing was still in a meeting, which would end in about twenty minutes.

With no choice, Xiao Zheng could only plan to rest in his office for a while.

However, midway, he suddenly thought of Mo Anna.

Thus, Xiao Zheng changed direction and went to Mo Anna’s office.

He didn’t knock on the door, but directly opened it and walked in.

Mo Anna was bending over her desk, reviewing a document. Hearing the door open, she frowned slightly, her beautiful face showing a hint of displeasure.

However, just as she was about to rebuke, she looked up and finally saw Xiao Zheng.

"What brings you to see me today?"

The displeasure on Mo Anna’s face vanished instantly, replaced by a heart full of joy.

Although she isn’t a woman who cares much about titles, seeing the man she loves come to find her is something that always makes her happy. It also proves that she holds a place in Xiao Zheng’s heart.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Of course, I wanted to see you, so I came to find you."

He was a master at lying without blinking.

He kept his role as Leng Ruobing’s chauffeur secret, deliberately letting Mo Anna assume he came solely to see her.

Sure enough, Mo Anna’s complexion grew even more radiant. After casting Xiao Zheng a charming glance, she said, "Do you have time tonight? How about we have dinner together?"

"Sure, what time and where?" Xiao Zheng asked.

Mo Anna glanced at her watch and said, "Let’s make it seven in the evening. A new revolving restaurant just opened in the Golden Continent Building. I’ve wanted to try it for a while but was too lazy to go alone."

"Alright, we’ll meet at the Golden Continent Building then," Xiao Zheng winked at her and added with a laugh, "And after dinner, we can go do something enjoyable together."

Mo Anna, naturally picking up on the suggestive tone, blushed and squeezed her legs together unconsciously: "I certainly don’t mind, but aren’t you worried about overexertion? Don’t you have to go home at night?"

"What’s there to worry about? Even if I have to head home afterward, I’m up to the task," Xiao Zheng boasted, patting his chest. "Real men, tough guys, no explanation needed!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Anna’s gaze became even more entrancing.

Her luscious lips exuded endless allure.

Fortunately, Xiao Zheng didn’t continue teasing her; otherwise, the two might have ignited a passionate flame right there in Mo Anna’s office.
